I tested positive for COVID-19 two weeks ago, and although my fever is gone and my blood oxygen levels are normal (above 95%), my severe cough has returned after temporary relief from taking Azithromycin, Doxycycline, Montocope, Zincovit, and Patanjali Coronil; has my COVID-19 infection returned, and how can I get rid of this persistent cough?
Your COVID-19 infection has likely not returned; instead, you are experiencing a common post-viral cough. After a viral infection, your airways can remain sensitive and inflamed for several weeks, causing a lingering cough. To help soothe your airways, try warm steam inhalation, stay well-hydrated, and use honey. Since your cough is severe and returned after stopping medications like Montocope, please consult a healthcare professional. They can evaluate your lungs and may recommend a targeted inhaler or a specific cough suppressant to safely relieve the inflammation.
